The Fool’s Journey (Cont’)
By Stephen Martin

(X)

The manifestation portal swallows the fool,
Spitting him/her out,
To turn in cycles,
Never ceasing;
A self propelled vortex,
Feeding on whomever
touches the circle.

The turning is governed
by the spirits
of fortune,
Smiling on some,
Then frowning,
Dumping them in the dirt.

(XI)

Justice becomes the fool’s desire,
A mighty sword,
Wielded with integrity,
Natural swoops cut imbalance.

The arbitrator
indicts
the many falling brethren,
Making no distinction,
No calculation,
No distraction;
A surgical procedure,
A declaration
of law.

How far back does this "fool" poem go back. I understand your efforts and see the value in the words but can't quite get it. I guess I am the fool but the comment section seemed so empty so I felt inspired to say something... so here it goes:

The Jester approached the throne...

The king looked upon him intently as the Jester spoke

The king fell off his chair and died laughing

Little did he know his brother was next in line

Killed by the baker's poison rhyme

Leaving the Jester the only one close enough to take the throne

When he got there it was not his own

The queen bumped him off

when she played her trump card

Awesome contribution. The poem was written over 11 posts. Two trump cards a day from the major arcana. Starting with 0 and ending at 21.
